Founded more than 100 years ago in 1919 by Tokie Hokiyama in Tosa – Shikoku Island – Hokiyama cutlery stands on a triangle of values:

Tradition, Innovation and practicality.

They preserve the original clad forging method cultivated over 800 years of Tosa cutlery history with craftsman spirit and ambitions of making further innovations for the future. While making traditional knives, they keep on searching up-to-date technologies, materials and manufacturing process, and always trying to develop more refined products aiming at further evolution.

The Tosaichi AO line is an amazing value for money series! Is made with Aogami Super steel – maybe the top carbon steel used in Japanese cuttlery and is forged at a high HRC 63 hardness. Being stainless cladded with SUS – 405 stainless steel, requires less care that the usual carbon steel knives while maintaining all the advantages of the carbon steel. Features a beautiful Migaki (Polished) finish and an octagonal Ebony handle.

The name translates to “muscle cutter”.  It is usually long and thin with a low profile and the purpose of it is for cutting in one single slice in order to create minimum cellular damage (That preserves the original texture and flavor of the protein). Perfect for slicing and back draw cut motions. The specific knife comes in the most common size at 270mm
